These policies articulate the Government’s vision of sustainable development, which should be interpreted and applied locally to meet local aspirations. 1.2 Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG) The guidance complements the National Planning Policy Framework and provides advice on how to deliver its policies. 1.3 Circular 11/95 – The Use of Conditions in Planning Permissions (Appendix A only): Model conditions. Planning Obligations 1.4 Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Regulations 2010 (as amended) Paragraph 122 Places a statutory requirement on the local authority that where planning permission is dependent upon a planning obligation the obligation must pass the following tests: (a) necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms; (b) directly related to the development; and (c) fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. The 2019 amendments to the regulations removed the previous restriction on pooling more than 5 planning obligations towards a single piece of infrastructure. 2.0 Development Plans 2.1 The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Minerals and Waste Plan 2011 2.2 Cambridge Local Plan 2018 iv 3.0 Supplementary Planning Documents 3.1 Sustainable Design and Construction 2020 3.2 Cambridge Flood and Water 2018 3.3 Affordable Housing 2008 3.4 Planning Obligations Strategy 2004 Development Frameworks and Briefs 3.5 The New Museums Site Development Framework (March 2016) 3.6 Ridgeons site Planning and Development Brief (July 2016) 3.7 Mitcham’s Corner Development Framework (January 2017) 3.8 Mill Road Depot Planning and Development Brief (March 2017) 3.9 Land North of Cherry Hinton (February 2018) 3.10 Grafton Area of Major Change - Masterplan and Guidance (February 2018) 4.0 Use Classes Use Previous Use Class New Use Class (Sept 2020) Shops A1 E Financial and A2 E Professional Services Café and Restaurant A3 E Pub/drinking A4 Sui Generis establishment Take-away A5 Sui Generis Offices, Research, B1 E Light industry General Industry B2 B2 Storage and B8 B8 Distribution Hotels, Guest Houses C1 C1 Residential C2 C2 Institutions Gymnasiums D2 E v Clinics, health centres D1 E Cinemas, concert D2 Sui Generis halls, dance halls, bingo vi Public Document Pack Agenda Item 4 Planning Plan/1 Wednesday, 6 January 2021 PLANNING 6 January 2021 10.00 am - 4.50 pm Present: Planning Committee Members: Councillors Smart (Chair), Baigent (Vice- Chair), Green, McQueen, Page-Croft, Porrer, Thornburrow and Tunnacliffe Officers: Assistant Director Delivery: Sharon Brown Area Development Manager: Toby Williams Principal Planner: Lewis Tomlinson Planner: Phoebe Carter Planner: Mary Collins Planner: Saffron Loasby Planner: Dean Scrivener Legal Adviser: Keith Barber Committee Manager: James Goddard Meeting Producer: Gary Clift FOR THE INFORMATION OF THE COUNCIL 21/1/Plan Apologies No apologies were received. 21/2/Plan Declarations of Interest Name Item Interest Councillor Baigent All Personal: Member of Extinction Rebellion and the Cambridge Cycling Campaign.

Discretion unfettered. 21/3/Plan Minutes The minutes of the meeting held on 16 October 2020 and 2 December 2020 were approved as a correct record. 21/4/Plan 20/03651/S73 - 6-18 King Street The Committee received an application for a section 73 variation of Condition 2 (Approved Drawings) of planning permission 17/1497/FUL (Erection of 64 student rooms, 7 student kitchens, 4 college offices, music practice room and seminar rooms, commercial unit (386 sqm) provision of a connection to the Todd Building and associated landscaping and cycle parking (includes demolition of later structure of 6-10 with facade retention, demolition of 12 to 16 and alterations to 18)) to enable alterations to the design and allow for internal adjustments for fire precautions, plant and renewable energy features. The Planner updated her report by referring to updated details and the removal of condition 21 on the amendment sheet. The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from a resident of King Street. The written statement was read by the Committee Manager: i. Wrote as the lessee (for the last 15) years of this project’s adjoining neighbour. A business now called the Stolen Liquor Loft and Restaurant, previously under my care as d'Arry's restaurant. ii. Asked the determination of the application be adjourned and remains adjourned until Objector’s neighbours demonstrated that they were trust worthy applicants by meeting the planning conditions previously placed upon them and disregarded to date. iii. The applicants were granted consent to demolish and rebuild 6 - 18 Kings Street but proceeded to demolish without fulfilling the planning conditions placed upon them. iv. They had not agreed noise management or mitigation measures prior to demolition commencement. Despite the demolition being broadly Page2 8 Planning Plan/3 Wednesday, 6 January 2021 complete, critical planning conditions (from perspective as a neighbour), relating to the management of the site remained unapproved. Ms Page (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of the application. Members were asked if they wished to defer this item or continue to consider it at today’s Committee. They resolved (by 4 votes to 4 and on the Chair’s casting vote) to determine the item at this Committee. Councillor Porrer proposed amendments to the Officer’s recommendation to include informatives to: i. mitigate the noise of air source heat pumps. The intention is to make the Applicant aware of this issue now as air source heat pumps are the subject of a separate application; and ii. restrict the hours of music playing and amplification late into the evening. The intention is to ensure the Applicant aware that noise from the music room could disturb neighbours. The amendments were carried unanimously. In response to Councillor Thornburrow request to include reference to condition 12G, the Area Development Manager offered Committee an amendment to the Officer’s recommendation: Condition 33. Notwithstanding the approved plans, prior to any development above slab level the installation of any roof top plant or PV panels, details of their height and proposed screening, including external appearance, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The submission shall include reference to condition 12G in terms of the location of service risers and the location of the plant location. The rooftop plant and its screening shall be installed thereafter only in accordance the approved details.
